The surface of this interior shall be approximately level and 1.4 - 2.6 cm lower than the upper edge of the rim of the circle.

CONT

The rim of the circle shall be at least 6mm thick and shall be white.

CONT

Another important feature of a glide shot shoe is that the shoe should not be excessively curved from toe to heel. This makes it easier to place the toe against the back of the circle rim. Try that with a hammer specialty and you are likely to foul on top of the rim.

Record 5 2010-07-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Track and Field
DEF

Technique in the last part of the follow-through in shot put, hammer and discus throws, used to gain body balance and to avoid fouling by stepping on or outside the circle (i.e. a recovery mechanism following the release of the implement).

CONT

After the shot has left the hand, a quick movement reversing the position of the feet transfers the body weight on to the right foot. An extension of this foot tends to stop the forward motion of the body, and in turn prevents a foul.

OBS

The term "reverse" is most commonly used.

La jambe gauche est portée en arrière pendant que la droite, vivement placée contre le butoir, fléchit et que le tronc se casse, arrêtant ainsi le mouvement vers l'avant et permettant de rétablir l'équilibre.

Record 6 2002-09-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Basketball
DEF

The area where teams line up to shoot foul shots, formerly shaped like a key.

CONT

At each end of the court a free-throw lane is marked. It is a rectangle 12 ft wide and extending 19 ft from the end-line. A semi-circle with a radius of 6 ft is drawn from the center of the free-throw lane giving the lane some resemblance to a keyhole. Hence it is normally referred to as the "key". No player is allowed to remain in the key for more than 3 sec. when his team has the possession of the ball.

CONT

From the ends of the foul line to the base line run two lines that form the free throw lane, or foul lane. ... In international play the foul lane is 17 feet wide at the base line, and therefore its lines slant outward from the 12-foot-wide free throw lane.
